music.
Besides these skits
students will be treated to
a guitar performance by

System changed
After only one year of
its two year test run, the,
new examination system
at CHSS has been
dropped.
This decision was
reached by the ad-
ministration in con-
sultation with the
teachers after they had
received complaints from
staff members, parents
and students about the
system... .
The format of the noW
system included four
terms With exams at the
end of the second term (in
January) and exams in
June.. Many students.
found, because there
were three marks
required each term for
ead1' course, they were
faced with many more
tests than theyhad in
previous years with the
old system .'
Next year CHSS will
revert back to the three
term system with a few
minor changes. Exams
will be written at the end
of November instead of in
early December. Second
and third term exams
will be written just before
the March break and in
June respectively.
Because of the change in
time of the first term
exams, the three terms
are much more equalized
than they had been
previously. The second
term will be the longest
term, but because there
are usually a few days of,
school time lost during
the winter due to
snowstorms, the amount
of work—should not be
noticeably different.,
The leading CHSS track and field contestants were
honored at a special awards ceremony at the high
school last week. The winners included, left to

Well, the '79-80 school year is over and with it comes
the final page of The Chronicle 1'fi the Clinton -News
Record,'until next fall.
Being editor is certainly one experience that I've
enjoyed and will always remember. As with anything,
there have been problems, but even though I might not
have agreed with myself at the time, these problems
were what shade the year more interesting and
challenging.
There are many people to be thanked for their
contributions to The Chronicle. These include the
whole staff of The Chronicle, the photography club and
our staff advisor Mr. Smith. •
Next year's editor of the Chronicle will be Paul
Hartman. Good luck to him and all of next year's
staff!

You've got a right to equal pay for doing
substantially the same work as man.
In fact, you've got a law.
Getting paid the same as a man when you're
doing substantially the same work is the- law in
Ontario. The trouble is. many female employees
haven't been pard according to the law. for one
reason or another.
Examples.
It's not good enough for employers to set wage
rates on the basis of job title. or to use minor
differences in work to` justify differences in pay.
For example men employed as clerks may have
tq, do some purchasing of plant equipment or sup-
. plies perhaps while a woman clerk may do the
purchasing of smaller items—stationery. office
needs. etc. But minor differences such as, locking up
at night. handling petty cash or lifting heavier loads
do not make a ':substantial difference' in the job and
do not necessarily entitle the man to -a higher rate of
py. The law states that when a woman is doing
substantially the same work as a man she must be
paid the same
What "substantially the same" means.
To clarify it for you, 'substantially the same
means that the skill, effort, responsibility and work-
ing conditions required for, the work are similar and
any difference in these are of a minor nature
In considering skill, attention is paid fo factors
such, as experience, training and education required
- to do the work. In considering effort. attention is paid
to the degree of physical or mental exertion required
tp do the work. And in considering responsibility,
attention is paid to the degree of accountability to
others in doing the work.
Enforcement of the law.
To enforce the equal pay law, the government of
Ontario has added extra staff to- the Employment
Standards Branch. Their job is to make spotchecks
into businesses across the province. to a-udit pay
practices and to investigate complaints made by you
to the Ministry of Labour.
Equal pay for equal work li's your right. And it's
thelaw
If you want more information or feel you have a
valid complaint, call or write your local Employment'
Standards Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Labour. .
To call your local Employment Standards
Branch. check your telephone directory or ask Bell
Directory Assistance for the toll free number.
Paying a woman less • than a man for doing
substantially the same work isn't just unfair, it's
illegal.
